Pros

401K matching is much more generous than I have seen elsewhere. Educational benefits are pretty unbelievable- go to any school for almost any professionally degree paid 100% with only a two year commitment when you finish up. Lots of professional certifications are also reimbursed 100%. Healthcare benefits are pretty good and company contributes to your HSA.

Cons

No upward mobility whatsoever. Doing a good job will simply get you more work than you can handle as an individual which leads to negative visibility. Lots of old, veteran deadweight counting down their days until retirement. Raises and bonuses used to be generous but due to cost cutting have been sliced significantly. Depending on the manager, you may never be recognized for going above and beyond. Morale is the lowest I have ever seen anywhere with constant layoff threats. Jobs moving overseas to again cut costs.

Pros

Easy going, nice benefits, free further education (masters/PhD). Great for an engineer starting out who needs to dip their feet in the pool of engineering for a few years and to get a great 401(k) match at the start of your career (compounding growth). Great for late stage career due to the benefits and solid enough pay in a low cost of living area

Cons

pay-scale lagging, no emphasis on learning new things, no punishment for people who are bad at their job. After working for 4 years, I feel like I should have jumped ship after 2. I haven't been given meaningful work that really challenges me in a while. Now I feel pigeonholed into staying because I have enough years of experience that I really should be considered senior, but I haven't been given work that reflects what I senior engineer should be capable of. Now I'm trying to jump ship before it's really too late. If I stay here another 2 years I think I will be genuinely unemployable and will have to stay at this company forever.
